Crock Pot Lentil Soup: Easy Healthy Meal

Lentils, my favorite legume, may be small but they pack a mighty nutritional punch! Lentils are high in protein and fiber and low in fat, and they provide folic acid and iron. Lentils have a mild, earthy flavor and readily absorb a variety of wonderful flavors from other foods and seasonings. This lentil soup is not only healthy but very hearty. It’ll give you energy without weighing you down. Enjoy this traditional and warming dish.

Variations: You can add fresh tomatoes or one 14½ ounce can of diced tomatoes at the beginning of cooking if you like. Cumin and olive oil are also good additions. I add all of these additional ingredients. Yum yum!

It has 0 grams of total fat, 420 mg’s of sodium, 1 grams of total carbs and less than 1 gram of protein in it. Don’t forget Crockpot’s (slow cookers) are a great way to save money; My Crockpot (slow cooker) black beans are the easiest to make, taste great and are super inexpensive and healthy. On the other hand, high setting will make it cook faster, which is for only 3 to 4 hours.

Love your messages – LOVE my Thursday class – would love the Lentil Soup recipe, however, I do not have a crock pot also, I do not seem to be able to download things – I may look “bright” but its a facade!

Hi Anne,
No problem. I’ll bring in a copy of this recipe to class. You can do a stovetop version! It’s so yummy. I make this soup often during the winter time. No worries about the computer stuff! It really does get easier with practice.
